Congresswoman Veronica Escobar is calling out Meta for skipping community meetings on their

data center project in Northeast El Paso.

Last week, during a local media briefing, she revealed she had already reached out to

the company before, but they never got back to her.

Meanwhile, at her push, the Army just wrapped up the first public listening session for

their own data center on Fort Bliss Land.

Escobar pointed out that, with this other major project stepping up on transparency, Meta

needs to follow suit.

Folks in the community are watching closely, as these massive builds could reshape the

area.

Escobar stressed that public input is key when big tech and military projects hit home turf

like this.

She's now sent a formal letter to Meta, laying out why these meetings are reasonable and

necessary right now.

Keep an ear to the ground on this one.

El Paso Transparency talks like these could set the tone for how these data centers roll

out.
